Handling Assignment Rules in ServiceNow

In ServiceNow, if one is looking for automatic assignments then he can rely on the instance’s ability to assign the tasks automatically to different users and groups depending on the specified conditions. In order to achieve this, ServiceNow has the following modules:

  • Assignment Lookup Rules
  • Assignment Rules

Assignment Lookup Rules:

This module appears under the ‘System Policy application’ menu. This table is basically generated out of the box as its definition is provided in the ‘Data Lookup Definition’ table in the instance, specifically for field assignments in the incident table. Assignment lookup rules mainly provide the functionality of changing any field value and not just the assignment fields.

Assignment Rules:

This module appears under the ‘System Policy application’ menu. It helps to automatically assign the tasks to a particular user or a particular group using the assigned_to and assignment_group fields respectively, depending on the specified set of conditions. One can define these assignment rules readily for their desired table.

Following are the steps for defining the assignment rule:

  • Navigate to System Policy -> Assignment -> New

Handling Assignment Rules in ServiceNow

  • From the above figure, one can see that the dot-walking can also be done in the condition builder field. Just select the ‘Show Related Fields’ option in the condition and then select the appropriate attribute.
  • Further, in the ‘Assign To’ tab, select the appropriate user and group to whom the task is to be assigned.

If two assignment rules conflict, then the assignment rule with the lowest execution order runs first. The lower the execution order, the higher is the precedence.

Distinguishing Factors between the Data Lookup Rules and Assignment Rules:

Precedence among the assignment rule and business rule:.

In certain circumstances, the business rules gain precedence over the assignment rules.

The business rules and assignments rules run in the following order:

  • All the ‘before record insert’ business rules having order less than 1000.
  • First and foremost, assignment rule with lowest execution order and matching condition.
  • All the ‘before record insert’ business rules having order more than 1000.
  • All the ‘after record insert’ business rules.

We are pretty sure that this blog must have given an overview of dealing with Assignment Rules in ServiceNow.

Any comments\suggestions are most welcome. We have posted further blogs as well on other topics and will frequently come back with something innovative.

Major incident management

A major incident (MI) is an incident that results in significant disruption to the\n business. A major incident demands a response beyond the routine incident management\n process. Major incidents have a separate procedure with shorter timescales and\n higher priority, so that there is a faster resolution process for incidents with\n high business impact.

The definition of what constitutes a major incident must be determined and agreed on. For\n example, a major incident can be created if a critical business service is\n impacted or if there is a service outage that affects many users.

  • Propose an incident as a major incident candidate by clicking\n Propose Major Incident from\n the context menu of the Incident form.
  • Create a new major incident candidate by clicking\n Create Major Incident\n Candidate from the left navigation\n pane.
  • Mark an incident as a major incident candidate based on the\n major incident trigger rules.
  • Promote a candidate to a major incident by clicking\n Promote to Major Incident \n from the context menu.
  • Create a new major incident by clicking Create Major\n Incident from the left navigation\n pane.
  • Promote an incident to a major incident without going through\n the proposal process.

When responding to a major incident, some crucial actions involve finding the right\n resources, communicating updates to users and stakeholders, setting up\n conference calls to investigate and resolve the incident, and escalating the\n incident when required. Using Task\n Communications Management , you can define communication plans that are\n associated with a major incident based on pre-defined conditions. Incident\n communication plans and related communication tasks are created for a major\n incident based on the communication plan definitions. Thereafter, tasks get\n executed as defined in the attached incident communication.

  • Major Incident Management process \nA major incident is a highest-impact, highest-urgency incident that affects a large number of users, depriving the business of one or more crucial services. Given the urgency of the situation, a well-coordinated response process is required to accelerate the resolution and minimize the business impact.
  • Major Incident Management plugins \nYou can activate the Major Incident Management plugins if you have the admin role.
  • Quick start tests for Major Incident Management \nValidate that Major Incident Management still works after you make any configuration change such as apply an upgrade or develop an application. Copy and customize these quick start tests to pass when using your instance-specific data.
  • Create trigger rules for major incidents \n Create trigger rules to define conditions under which a trigger action is executed. You can create major incident trigger rules to define conditions under which an incident is automatically considered as a major incident candidate.
  • Working on major incident management \nThe section covers topics that help you with a variety of technical concepts related to major incident management such as the different ways to create a major incident, ways to reject a major incident candidate, demote a major incident, or close a major incident.
  • Major incident workbench \nThe major incident workbench is a single pane view designed for major incident managers, communication managers, and resolver groups. The workbench helps to manage major incidents by aggregating and providing actionable information.
  • Major incident overview (dashboard) \nMajor Incident Overview module provides two versions of the Performance Analytics (PA) Dashboard to review major incident information at a glance.

Control the Execution Order of Request Items in an Order Guide

ately I’ve been doing some service catalog work for a couple of clients and I’ve come across a requirement that I really haven’t had to address before. The requirement deals with order guides…specifically with the ability to control the execution order of individual items within an order guide. You’re probably aware that ServiceNow provides complete control over the ordering of tasks within a catalog item, but what do you do with an order guide that needs to have one item complete before the next 2 items can start? There’s not a simple way to control this behavior by default so I came up with a way and I’ll share it here.

Initial setup

All of this depends on having the ability to identify whether or not an order guide is associated with an item that has been ordered, and which order guide that is. As such, your first step will be to make sure that you are recording the order guide used against the parent request record. This setup is not provided by default but you can add it by following the instructions in this article .

NOTE: This is recorded for you automatically in the Helsinki release and beyond! The instructions below reflect these changes as of the Helsinki release.

Establishing an execution order

Once you’ve validated that the order guide is being populated correctly you’re ready to set up the execution order for your items within that order guide. The solution is actually pretty simple and only requires 2 pieces, both of which are implemented in the workflow for the respective items within an order guide.

Example: In order to illustrate this setup, I’ll use a simple example. Let’s say that you have an order guide for new hires that includes 2 items; ‘Computer Workstation’ and ‘Computer Software’. Both of these items need to be ordered and delivered as part of the new hire process, but they need to be delivered in a specific order. The ‘Computer Software’ item cannot be started until the ‘Computer Workstation’ item has finished because we need to have a workstation to be able to install the software.

The first step is to modify the graphical workflow associated with item 1 (the ‘Computer Workstation’ catalog item). The workflow should run through the same process whether or not the item is ordered as part of an order guide, but at some point in the workflow (probably right before the end) we need to check if the item is associated with an order guide and then tell the next item to start. The next item in this case is ‘Computer Software’.

We don’t have direct access to the next item, but we can easily set up a ‘Run script’ workflow activity to query for that item and set a value there telling the item that it can start. I’ve found that the simplest way of doing this is to set the ‘State’ field on the next request item record to ‘Work in Progress’. The script below can be used in your ‘Run script’ activity in your workflow. Just replace the name of the ‘Computer Software’ item below with the name of the item in your system.

This script works great, but it’s only part of the puzzle! Unless you tell item 2 (Computer Software) to wait for item 1 (Computer Workstation) then your script isn’t going to work the way you need it to. So, the second configuration change you’ll need to make is to add a ‘Wait for’ activity to the graphical workflow associated with item 2 (Computer Software). The ‘Wait for’ activity placement should probably be the first activity in the item 2 workflow, but will depend on your specific workflow. It should only apply if an order guide is associated with the parent request and the state is ‘Work in Progress.

Order Guide Wait For Activity

If you’ve followed the instructions above correctly, you should now be able to order your order guide item and execute the items in the order you’ve specified in the workflows. You can handle any order guide execution order scenario by repeating the same steps in the workflow for each item. If you have multiple items that need to start when item 1 is finished, then simply add those items to the script from item 1 and add the wait for condition to items 2, 3, 4, etc…

Bonus! Copying variable values from one item to another

Because your items are associated under a single order guide, it might also be necessary to pass variable values from one item to another. In order to do this, you’ll need to make sure that each item sharing variable values this way has an identically-named variable to place the value in. Once you’ve got that you could execute the following script inside a workflow ‘Run script’ activity.

I had a similar requirement in the past to be able to choose an existing requested item and copy all the variables into a new request. I used JSON to build a string with all the name/value pairs and then set the form with the client script.

Script Include (findItemVariables)

Catalog Client Script

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this. If I needed to populate the variables in a client script I would definitely use something like this. If I needed to populate the variables in a workflow or business rule I could use a script like mine above.

This is great. I’m doing something similar, but I’m opening the flood gates after the User Creation RITM is complete on a New Hire. We have to wait for the user to be created in LDAP, sync’d to ServiceNow and update the “Requested For” so it becomes accurate on the Desktop, Software, Phone requested items, etc.

I implemented this and works perfectly. However, given that the “next items” are waiting for the first one to complete IF approved (in my case), how do I get to cancel the workflows for these “next items” if the first one is not approved, as these others depend on this approval?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Cheers, Luis

You’ll have to query for the other items and close them (which should cancel the workflows). If it doesn’t then you can force the workflow cancellation as shown here… https://servicenowguru.wpengine.com/scripting/business-rules-scripting/canceling-executing-workflows-task-closure/

Hi Mark, This is fantastic, thank you. Any ideas on how to set the variable in Step 2 in the latest Eureka release? request.order guide isn’t a variable I can choose… I can plug in parent.tasktype and use that as a Request, but that assumes that every REQ is going to be part of an order guide… bit messy?

Cheers, -Adam

Have you followed the initial setup listed above? In order to get the ‘request.u_order_guide’ field you have to create it by following the instructions included in the article I link to above.

Of course not! I’m a user and only half-read everything 🙂 I’ll give it a crack tonight and see how I go, thanks for being polite about it!

Hi Mark, Do you know if Geneva or Helsinki has any sort of OOB functionality for this, or are you still using your custom approach with clients?

There’s nothing new in Helsinki or Geneva to do this as far as I know.

Just to validate, do all of the request items still get created at the very beginning? Does this just control when certain request item’s states gets set to “work in progress” as dependent items are completed?

All of the requested item records will always get created right at the beginning regardless of what you do. This helps to control the workflow so that they only get opened and put into people’s work queue when they’re supposed to.

I’m a bit confused on the second step. Based on the provided example, it looks like it will wait on the “wait activity” even when the request isn’t made from an Order Guide.

Are you saying there should be a “conditional if activity” before the “wait activity” checking if the Order Guide is set on the request?

Yes, the example shown above would really only apply if the second item was always part of the order guide. A conditional activity in your second item would allow the flexibility of handling multiple types of flows.

The script to pass variables between various catalog item should be written in which workflow..I tried putting it in the 1st Requested item but it didnt work… The other scripts work as expceted.

How to debug access control lists (acls) in servicenow.

Debugging Access Control Lists (ACLs) in ServiceNow can be tricky. These rules are a key part of ServiceNow’s security. Here, we discuss techniques and best practices for debugging ACLs, so they work properly and offer the right level of security.

First off, review the ACL conditions and script logic. Make sure the conditions are correct, and match the desired behavior.

ServiceNow has built-in logging capabilities that help debug ACLs. When debug mode is enabled, developers can see how each rule is executed, and if it’s working as planned.

Analyzing system logs can also be helpful. Check for any errors or warnings related to access control rules. Treat this info carefully, to get a complete understanding.

Sometimes, incorrect ACL configuration has led to data breaches. To avoid this, test and debug ACLs before using them in production. Thorough debugging helps mitigate security risks and ensures ServiceNow has a reliable access control mechanism.

Understanding ACLs in ServiceNow

ACLs consist of three parts: roles, conditions, and scripts. Roles identify a user or group subject to the rule. Conditions state criteria that need to be met for the rule to work. Scripts allow custom logic to execute before granting or denying access.

To understand ACLs in ServiceNow, it’s best to know each component’s function and how they interact.

  • Roles are key to granting permissions to users based on their assigned roles. By setting roles wisely, organizations can manage access control and keep data safe.
  • Conditions let organizations set criteria that must be met for a rule to apply. For example, one ACL may only give write access to people in a certain region. Setting the right conditions prevents unauthorized actions.
  • Scripts add flexibility by allowing custom logic to run within an ACL rule. This lets organizations use complex business rules while still having strong security controls. Scripts also help ACLs update as requirements change, without compromising security.

When working with ACLs in ServiceNow, these tips help with debugging:

  • Check Logs: Look for error messages or warnings related to access control in system logs.
  • Try Different Roles: Test different roles to find conflicts between multiple ACL rules assigned to one role.
  • Check Conditions and Scripts: Make sure conditions and scripts reflect the desired access control requirements.
  • Incremental Debugging: Start with simplified rules then gradually add complexity while always testing for expected behavior.

Organizations can debug ACLs in ServiceNow if they follow these suggestions. Knowing the components of ACLs and how they work together is essential to managing access control effectively and keeping sensitive data secure.

Common issues with ACLs

ACLs, or Access Control Lists , are a must-have part of the Servicenow platform. They help with managing permissions and blocking access to certain resources. However, some common issues can occur while using ACLs.

One of these is misconfiguration of rules . This happens when a rule isn’t written correctly, or its conditions and scripts are not correct. This can lead to wrong access restrictions or granting of extra permissions.

Troubleshooting ACLs is another problem. It’s hard to find out which rule is causing an issue. This is time-consuming as it involves viewing many rules and their conditions to identify the problem.

In complex environments with many roles, conflict between different ACLs can appear. This leads to users being given or denied wrong permissions, making managing access control hard.

Understanding the order of evaluation for rules can be tough. The order in which rules are evaluated can change the outcome of permission grants or denials. Not understanding this order can lead to strange behavior and incorrect access restrictions.

To sort out these common ACL issues in Servicenow, here are some tips:

  • Thoroughly review and validate ACL configurations . Before releasing any rule, make sure its conditions and scripts are correct. Keep reviewing and validating all rules to prevent misconfigurations.
  • Utilize logging and debugging tools . Servicenow has logging tools to track changes made by ACLs when executing. Use these to see which rule is causing the issue and troubleshoot it.
  • Communicate effectively with others . In complex environments with conflicting roles, good communication is essential. Talk to others and coordinate ACL configurations to avoid conflicts and ensure consistent permissions.
  • Understand the order of evaluation . Take the time to understand how Servicenow evaluates ACL rules. Look at the order of rules on the ACL configuration page, as this will decide their priority during evaluation. Change the order if needed to get the desired permissions.

By following these tips, users can combat common ACL issues in Servicenow. Thorough configuration review, troubleshooting tools, effective communication, and understanding rule evaluation order will make access control management easier.

Step-by-step guide on debugging ACLs in ServiceNow

Debugging ACLs in ServiceNow is important. It ensures your instance is secure and runs well. To do it, just follow these steps:

  • Access the ‘System Security’ module.
  • Go to ‘Access Control’ > ‘Can Read’ or ‘Can Write’.
  • Look up the error message or behavior related to the issue.
  • Look for syntax errors, wrong field names, or missing variables.
  • Examine the global scripts and those specific to tables/roles.
  • Debug using business rules and script debugging techniques.
  • Set breakpoints and simulate scenarios.
  • Check logs and system messages for errors.

Troubleshooting ACLs needs careful attention and thorough testing. As a Pro Tip , review your ACLs regularly and keep them updated with new ServiceNow functionalities. This helps prevent issues.

Best practices for effective ACL debugging

Debugging Access Control Lists (ACLs) in ServiceNow is a must for successful maintenance and troubleshooting. Here’s how to do it right:

  • Enable debug logs to get details of ACL processing.
  • Familiarize yourself with the order of execution. Read documentation and make sure your ACLs are evaluated correctly.
  • Create tests with various conditions to find any gaps in your access control rules.
  • Work with system administrators, developers, and end-users to get feedback on ACL behavior.

Moreover, stay informed of any updates or changes to the application or platform that may affect ACLs. Monitor ServiceNow community forums for any known issues or best practices.

Debugging ACLs in ServiceNow needs careful attention and a systematic way. By following the steps in this article, you can detect and fix issues with ACLs.

To start, it’s essential to understand the structure and logic behind ACLs. Knowing the different components and how they fit together will help you navigate the debugging process more quickly.

When debugging, check the ACL conditions well. Watch for mistakes or missing information that could cause conflicts or strange behavior. Also, take note of the order of execution for various ACLs, since this can affect their effectiveness.

Testing scenarios is another important part of debugging ACLs. Check how your ACL rules respond when simulating different user roles and permissions. This will show any possible gaps or inconsistencies in your configuration.

Using ServiceNow’s debugging tools can make troubleshooting easier. Use features like ‘Debug Business Rules’ or ‘Advanced Security Diagnostics’ to get a better idea of ACL evaluations and spot areas of concern.

A study by ITSM.tools found that badly configured ACLs are one of the main causes of security breaches. Investing time to debug your ACLs is key to avoiding potential problems.
